Looking at the spoiled young man below her, Madam Yun's eyes flashed with displeasure.
Upon hearing Madam Yun's words, the young man's eyes flickered, and he quickly replied.
“Grandmother’s orders are my duty, and I will go every day these days…”
The boy was right. These days, he would go to restaurants every day to eat and drink to his heart's content. In recent days, he had eaten at almost every restaurant near Kyoto.
Seeing the young man speak like this, Madam Yun's expression softened somewhat, and she waved for him to leave.
After everyone left, the old woman beside him finally spoke.
"Madam, are you really planning to hand over the restaurant business to the second young master...?"
The second young master that the nanny mentioned is the boy from earlier, who is also Yun Xiao's younger brother, Yun Huaiyuan.
However, Yun Huaiyuan was not a full brother, but the son of his father Yun Yong's second wife. Yun Xiao's mother died of illness at an early age, which is why Yun Xiao grew up with the old lady Yun.
However, this Yun Huaiyuan is completely different from Yun Xiao in temperament. He was spoiled by his second wife since childhood and developed the habits of a spoiled brat.
When Madam Yun heard what the nanny said, her eyes darkened, but she did not respond to the nanny. Instead, she asked a question.
"Has any news come back from that unfilial son...?"
The old nanny naturally knew that the unfilial son the old lady was referring to was Yun Xiao, and quickly responded.
"It's here. The news from over there says that the young master has sent chili peppers to restaurants all over the country, and some have also been sent to the estate in the suburbs. The servants there said that the young master said to store them first..."
Upon hearing the old woman's words, Madam Yun's eyes lit up with a smile. She thought to herself, "It seems that this unfilial son hasn't reached the point where he would disregard everything for the sake of a woman."
When Madam Yun saw the old nanny looking hesitant, she frowned and spoke with some displeasure.
"But there are other things. Just say what you have to say. You know I hate people who beat around the bush..."
"Yes, it's my fault. News came from over there that the little bitch didn't die and returned safely to Ping'an Town. Now, the young master is with her. These chili peppers were collected from the villagers by the young master and that little bitch together..."
"What did you say? That bitch is still alive...?"
"This is outrageous! That bitch has such a lucky life..."
Thinking of Han Yiyi, Old Madam Yun's eyes were filled with ruthlessness. After a moment of contemplation, she spoke to the nanny.
"Go, tell them to find a way to get rid of him, and do it cleanly and efficiently..."
Upon hearing Madam Yun's words, the old nanny's eyes flickered. She didn't understand why her master insisted on picking a fight with that woman. Wasn't this just pushing the young master away?
However, seeing the gloom in Madam Yun's eyes, he did not dare to offer any words of comfort. Instead, he nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
What the nanny didn't know was that in Old Madam Yun's eyes, Yun Xiao had never disobeyed her wishes from childhood to adulthood, no matter how big or small the matter was. But this time, he had actually defied her to this extent for the sake of a discarded woman, so she must be very displeased.
On her way back to the village, Han Yiyi's gaze was drawn to a young couple who were deeply in love by the roadside. She thought to herself, "Everyone says that people in ancient times were reserved, but this doesn't seem to be very reserved at all..."
When Yun Xiao saw the two of them embracing, he subconsciously glanced at Han Yiyi on the mule cart and unconsciously swallowed, his ears turning slightly red.
When Han Yiyi noticed the strange look Yun Xiao was giving her, she unconsciously frowned and quickly spoke up.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and go, don't bother them..."
At that moment, the young couple also heard Han Yiyi's voice and, as if startled, hurriedly ran into the woods by the roadside.
In her haste, the girl turned her head and inadvertently made eye contact with Han Yiyi.
Han Yiyi then saw clearly that the person's eyes were red and his face was covered in tears. Upon seeing this, Han Yiyi raised an eyebrow and thought to herself, "Looks like they are a pair of star-crossed lovers."
However, Han Yi didn't take this little incident to heart. By the time the two of them returned home with a cart full of jars, it was already past noon. They were both starving, and the aroma of meat wafting through the village made Han Yi even hungrier.
Meanwhile, at the Fan family home, Old Lady Fan was munching on a dark-colored steamed bun, and the aroma of meat wafting in the air made her unconsciously swallow.
She knew that the villagers had made a lot of money by following Han Yi's lead in growing that kind of chili pepper, so she couldn't help but angrily curse.
"That little bitch Han Yiyi is such an ingrate! She's been eating our food for years for nothing. With such a good opportunity to make money, she didn't even mention taking us along. She's a heartless bastard..."
Fan Ting, who was munching on a steamed bun with his head down, didn't even raise his head when he heard his mother scolding Han Yiyi. He just tightened his grip on the dark steamed bun, lost in thought.
The two of them simply cooked two bowls of noodles and then prepared to make pickled peppers. After all, the sky had been overcast for several days, and Han Yi was really worried about leaving these small peppers lying around like this.
The two had just unloaded the jars from the mule cart when they heard Aunt Zhang shouting outside the door.
"Han girl, are you at home...?"
"Yes..." Han Yiyi heard this and quickly got up to speak.
"Auntie, what's wrong? Is there something you need me for...?"
When Aunt Zhang entered the room and saw Yun Xiao there, she subconsciously said something.
"The young master is here too..."
Yun Xiao: Why do I hear a hint of disdain in those words?
However, Yun Xiao was overthinking things. In Aunt Zhang's opinion, since he had already accepted the chili peppers, as the young master of Yunlai Restaurant, he should naturally have left. Seeing him still here was just out of curiosity.
Upon hearing Han Yiyi's question and seeing Yun Xiao present, a hint of unease flashed across Aunt Zhang's face.
After all, she had heard that Qingyu had brought the matchmaker Qing here to cause a scene with Yunxiao.
But now, in Aunt Zhang's heart, Han Yiyi is like a pillar of support. So whenever there is something important, she always wants to discuss it with Han Yiyi, or she wants Han Yiyi to be present so that she can feel more at ease. So she still had to bite the bullet and speak.
"Well, it's nothing serious. You see, Da Niu is getting older and older, but ever since that incident, he hasn't wanted to see any girls. This time, I finally managed to persuade him, and the girl came over this afternoon with the matchmaker. That's why I thought you should come with me to see her, so she doesn't end up with someone who's restless and domineering..."
